The way you describe the cozy charm of Tranquil Books & Coffee, with its floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and rustic ambiance, makes me want to curl up with a book and lose track of time. Your little jab at Ramesh for ordering a cold kombucha on a chilly morning made me smile, it’s those playful details that make your story so relatable.

Your writing makes me want to pack my bags and explore Hanoi myself. You have a beautiful way of capturing not just the places, but the feelings that come with them.
